Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Maybe One can com in contact with Rudraksha in only 2 ways : one is either rich or has a lot of other merits (spiritual) ( I myself am not so rich ,but I got spiritual merits and it helps me , Scriptures say that it takes a lot of merits to come in contact with Rudrakshas) So if you dont have so much money and the way of the world is not your way ,you should not worry ! but try to improve your spiritual merits instead , maybe you will be so lucky one day as to attain the "Immortal Rudraksha" inside you or you can also try to have your own Rudraksha tree, ,wait for some years I think, and it will be yours ,sooner or later Whatever happens ,have faith in the divine ! --- ---------- , "mrinaldel" <mrinaldel> wrote: > Rudraksha is a nature's product but we have made it > > > a commodity now..

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Sad but true. I find this to be the case not just with Rudrakshas but any natural product. As the earth's resources dwindle each day, "natural" objects will become more precious and expensive. Spiritual materialism is here to stay oh say for another 426898 years (assuming Kali yuga started in 3102 bc). So my plan is to reincarnate repeatedly and get a glimpse of what the golden age might be like. At an average life span of 70 years, it will take me 6098 rebirths to get there. This I hope to accomplish chiefly by eating onions and garlic. Since neither are sattvic, consuming them will lead to impure thoughts and (hopefully:-)) impure actions. This will ensure rebirth. However since they're both good for you, eating them might actually increase my life span thereby ensuring fewer rebirths to get there. Oh the paradox! But seriously (please don't EVER take me seriously:-)), being in India you are closer to the source. I'd imagine, they are affordable near their natural habitat. If wearing an expensive rudraksha mala was a prerequisite for spiritual progress, there'd be no hope for 90% of humanity. Like i heard a wise soul say recently, it's seeing the divine in all of humanity (living it and not just saying it) that's a real sign of spiritual progress. So don't you worry buddy. It's all good. End of soap box. Suraj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Hello all - I would add to this discussion of cost that it is a matter of what you value in life. People find money for all kinds of things that simply distract or console them, but when it comes to the spiritual realm, we expect it to be given cheaply or for free. Good Rudraksha is a bargain at the price simply because it keeps on giving.... where else can you find something that always gives?? best wishes, Alan >"zarembadavid" <rudra > > >RBSC : Re: Are Rudrakshas's only for the Rich ? >Thu, 21 Aug 2003 10:59:30 -0000 > > >Maybe One can com in contact with Rudraksha in only 2 ways : > >one is either rich or has a lot of other merits (spiritual) > >( I myself am not so rich ,but I got spiritual merits and >it helps me , Scriptures say that it takes a lot of merits to come >in contact with Rudrakshas) > >So if you dont have so much money and the way of the world is not >your way ,you should not worry ! > >but try to improve your spiritual merits instead , >maybe you will be so lucky one day as to attain >the "Immortal Rudraksha" inside you > >or you can also try to have your own Rudraksha tree, >,wait for some years I think, and it will be yours ,sooner or later > >Whatever happens ,have faith in the divine ! > >--- > >---------- >, "mrinaldel" ><mrinaldel> wrote: > > Rudraksha is a nature's product but we have made it > > > > > > a commodity now..
